Kathrin's world shatters when Taliban militants send her a text demanding a ransom for her soldier husband, Justin. Without proof of life, the military won't negotiate. After weeks of silence, an officer visits Kathrin with crushing words, "Justin has been killed in action." Heartsick, she is now alone, and she may never have a family either. Weary of grief, Kathrin accepts her friends, Beth and Glenn's invitation to tour Northern Ireland with them.

Unaware, Kathrin runs headlong into harm's way. The group no sooner arrives in Belfast when the shop belonging to Glenn's family explodes into flames. The friends discover that a police officer at the scene is Glenn's cousin, Shay. He blames his enemy, Callum, for this terrorist act and demands revenge. Shay and his profession do not impress Kathrin, but since she witnessed the crime, Shay stays close to protect her. They are together when their car flips and careens into a canyon.

Shay's prejudiced eyes begin to open when his "enemy," Callum, tends to his wounds. Kathrin's biased heart also begins to soften toward Shay. Just when Kathrin believes the worst is over, Callum's brother, blinded by his own revenge, sets off a chain of events that leaves Kathrin and Shay struggling to survive ruthless drug traffickers and the frigid sea. Life's storms nurture Kathrin's faith, but will she live long enough to realize she is falling in love with Shay?
